HOW DID YOU BECOME A MASSAGE THERAPIST? WHAT IS YOUR BACKGROUND?
Working as a nurse with chronically ill patients, I wanted to develop the area of touch, which was almost absent in care, and I completed my first massage training. Captivated by it, I then pursued several training courses (classical massage, sports massage, manual lymphatic drainage, reflexology, traditional Thai massage, seated massage, Do In, reiki). In 1999, I established myself as an independent practitioner.
HOW WERE YOU BROUGHT TO WORK WITHIN THE MAINS DES BAINS ASSOCIATION AND SINCE WHEN?
I joined the very first team in spring 1994, at Gabrielle’s request, who had launched this activity at the Bains des Pâquis site in winter 1993. The idea was to develop massages on the women’s side during the summer.
WHY DO YOU ENJOY WORKING WITHIN THIS ASSOCIATION?
For the Bains site that I love.
Working alone in my practice, I appreciate team life with its stimulation…
I appreciate being able to offer quality massages at reasonable prices.
The diversity (age, profession, origin, social status) of the people I massage.
The interactions with AUBP and the other workers at the site.
WHICH MASSAGE TECHNIQUES DO YOU PRACTICE AT BAINS DES PÂQUIS?
Classical massage, sports massage, manual lymphatic drainage.
WHICH TECHNIQUES DO YOU PRACTICE IN YOUR PRIVATE PRACTICE? WHERE IS IT LOCATED?
My practice is located in Geneva, where I practice therapeutic lymphatic drainage, classical and sports massage, reiki, Breuss massage, and seated massage in corporate settings.
